Look at the forum you're on. Do you think people on here are against solid axle, V8 powered broncos? If they are they're lost. ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I don't think anyone is pissy about it, and sorry if I came across that way. I believe most are simply pointing out that it isn't going to be a natural rock crawler off the lot like our classics are because market research said so. They probably looked at Wrongler sales and said the market is capped.
Styling, it's subjective but there will be a ton of aftermarket to make it look how you want.
Rock crawling is a smaller community compared with the desert racing and expedition communities these days and this will appeal to them more than a wrangler. Plus with the prices of new cars and trucks these days, hardcore rock crawling will be reserved for the rich. Fixing an old bronco fender is cake compared with the amount of stuff on new cars.
Why don't you think it'll match a stock Wrongler's capability off road? There are no back-to-back tests yet so this is just speculation. I would bet they used Wronglers as a benchmark and meet or exceed them in many areas. It might not be great at rock crawling but my guess is it will do Moab bone stock then turn around and do some high speed desert runs and whoop a Wrongler at both.
Based on how well the Raptor turned out and how good their ecu and trans programmers are, I bet there will be a lot of cool electronic toys for off road.
